Official FA Cup sponsors Budweiser has launched its Club Futures initiative for the second season running as part of its promise to invest £1m in to non-league football. After the success of last year's programme, Budweiser will again grant £50,000 to eight non-league clubs from steps 5-7 of the Football Pyramid, with one team eligible for a £100,000 super grant top-up. Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew is an ambassador for the initiative and we spoke to him at Combined Counties Premier Division side Raynes Park Vale FC, who won a £50,000 grant last year.
